AI Workdeck

Versioning & Updates

Minor versions update in-app; major versions ship as full installers

Version numbering

AI Workdeck versions read 0.X.Y: the second digit X is the major version, the third digit Y is the minor version. The two update differently.

0 . X . Y
X changes = major release (e.g. 0.11 to 0.12): download the full installer from this site and install over the old version.
Y changes = minor release (e.g. 0.11.1 to 0.11.2): applied automatically inside the app - no installer download needed.

Minor updates (in-app patches)

The app downloads a patch containing only what changed (typically under 10MB) in the background, then prompts you to restart. Patches are Ed25519-signed and hash-verified; a failed update rolls back automatically. You can also check manually under Settings - Software Update.

Major updates (full installer)

Major releases change runtimes and core components, so they require a full installer. Your documents, projects and settings live in your user directory and survive the reinstall untouched. The app notifies you in-app when a new major version is available.

Offline and intranet environments

Every release always ships a full installer. Where in-app updates cannot reach the network, downloading the latest full installer upgrades you across any number of versions in one step.

Update integrity

The update manifest is signed with the publisher's Ed25519 key and verified against the public key built into the app; every patch file is additionally SHA-256 checked. If any check fails, the whole update is discarded - unverified content is never installed.

Release history

What changed in each version

v0.16.0

2026-08-15

Bilingual interface, meeting transcription, and a rebuilt editor toolbar

  • The whole application now speaks Simplified Chinese and English: interface, document editor, AI replies, and tool activity all follow the language you pick in Settings. One installer — there is no separate English download.
  • In English, the AI assistant works in an international commercial and general legal context, without presuming any single jurisdiction.
  • New meeting recording plugin: automatic transcription, speaker separation, and AI-drafted minutes.
  • The document editor moves to a purpose-built toolbar: common commands are one click away, plus table operations, footnotes and endnotes, and headers and footers.
  • Fixed a case where the AI could sit unresponsive for three minutes when it needed to call a tool (a transport error was being swallowed, leaving only the timeout to recover).

v0.15.0

2026-08-14

Mainland mirror for downloads; steadier long AI runs

  • Downloads now come from a mainland mirror instead of requiring GitHub access.
  • Long AI runs now explain quota exhaustion and context overflow instead of just failing.

v0.14.0

2026-08-09

Project overview page; litigation visualization

  • New project overview page: profile, statistics, activity, schedule, and past conversations on one page.
  • Litigation visualization: timelines, flowcharts, and party relationship maps.
